Championship Predictions and Tips – 29th and 30th January 2022

In the absence of Premier League football, we’re looking ahead to the Championship action. And there are some interesting fixtures on Saturday and Sunday. Barnsley go up against Bournemouth and Scott Parker’s side could have joy in front of goal.

Fulham are expected to run riot against Blackpool, while Derby will attempt to get their Great Escape attempt back on track.

SATURDAY 29TH JANUARY

Barnsley 15:00 AFC Bournemouth

We’re surprised that Bournemouth are such a backable price to win this Championship clash at Oakwell this weekend. Although the Cherries have gone off the boil. They will come up against a Barnsley team who are the worst in the division. Scott Parker’s side piled on the pressure before losing to Hull last Saturday. Although they should find this team far more agreeable.

Fulham 15:00 Blackpool

If something ain’t broke, then it’s not worth fixing it. Fulham have successfully managed to outscore their past four opponents and score a shedload of goals. It’s hard to see how it will be any different at Craven Cottage when Blackpool are the visitors. The Tangerines sit fourteenth in the table and might add a goal or two but look sure to end up on the losing team. The Tipsters at WhatAcca.com have published a guide with various over 2.5 goal tips for our readers to learn from.

Luton Town 15:00 Blackburn Rovers

Luton have been going great guns under Nathan Jones recently and we’re happy to back the Hatters to win this clash. There’s still a chance that the Bedfordshire side could make the Championship play-offs. And they have won three of their past four league games. Blackburn recently lost at Hull and are showing a few chinks in the armour as we get to the business end of the season.

Peterborough United 17:30 Sheffield United

Peterborough United were two goals to the good at St Andrews during the week before being pegged back late against Birmingham. Darren Ferguson will hope his can get the job done against the Blades. Although the best bet could be BTTS Yes. Posh have to get wins in fixtures such as this one, while Sheffield United will regard this as a winnable clash.

SUNDAY 30TH JANUARY

Derby County 13:30 Birmingham City

Derby’s survival hopes might have been dealt with a setback when losing the Brian Clough derby. Although the Rams look a good bet to win this Midlands clash. The Birmingham City supporters are also unhappy with the ownership situation at the club and the Blues scrambled a draw at home to travel sick Peterborough. Take Wayne Rooney’s side to inch a bit closer to safety.

Cardiff City 16:00 Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest are on the verge of breaking into the play-offs. We think they’re a good Championship bet for the footy accumulators in south Wales on Sunday. Steve Cooper’s side have enjoyed four consecutive wins and they’ll come up against opponents who have lost a lot at home this term. It has been seven games since Cardiff secured a victory and it could be a difficult few months. Why not take a look at the EFL League One predictions for this week too, full of great tips!
